Andain - Beautiful Things. I love the tune, I think it's absolutely brilliant.

But I have a question - what is it about it that qualifies it as a "Trance" tune ?
I know it fits in nicely with other trance tunes - but is it trance itself ? To me, it sounds more like just a "song", and a damn good one. Can anyone explain please ?

It's not trance... It's a vocal progressive house tune, that's quite melodic, in my opinion

Er... I'd call it trance myself.

The beat is trancey, the synths are trancey... but really, the line between trance and house is very very hard to define. So if I had to call it anything I'd say "trance" (which is pretty vague) but it's best not to be too broad.

Its progressive house. How can you say the beat is trancey? In general, both have a 4/4 kick. Also, its pretty slow to be classified as trance. Of course, I'm assuming that we're talking about the Gabriel and Dresden remix.

It's a matter of opinion. It just doesnt have quite a synthetic sound to it compared to most trance tracks imo. Slightly drier slightly housier. Meh. *Shrugs*.

Yay, someone agrees with me.

Id say its all prog house, but damn good. And is their any other mix besides the (Gabriel and Dresden Remix)? I have this sneaking feeling there may only be an original mix involved =]

No more trees

i would also say that its a proggy tune...of course around here...if its good it "must" be trance hehehehe. people here are scared to admit when they like a prog tune...

and there is an original mix...i heard that its a little more mainstreamish...

I would say its trance, with a progressive element to it, g and d always say they wish there were more tracks around the 130is bpm and this is what it is.

and hey, if it makes teh tranceaddict community shit their pants because it is so good, i would classify it in a more trance type genre.

but regardless, genre whoring is really gay

I agree

if i had to put a label on it, i would prob say vocal prog house too. but i just consider it great dance music. i cant really call this one electronica cuz most of the song is done by live guitars.
